I just added the Santa Cap to the logo which means I have officially started accepting gifts as cash, goods, cards and prayers (please avoid last minute rush, lol). Wish you all Merry Christmas in advance.

By the way, I have not left Blogger bloggers behind. I am preparing a theme myself for Blogger, so stay tuned via RSS or by email to catch it.

Divi WordPress Theme - My Review

Divi is a WordPress theme that web designers do not want you to know. It comes with a drag-and-drop theme builder. You can build beautiful looking unique websites without touching a line of code. Just choose from one of the many pre-made layouts, or pick elements and arrange them any way you like.

Divi is every WordPress developer's wet dream. Surprise your clients with neat responsive websites and have fun building them.

Divi comes from Elegant Themes. If you enjoy building websites, you *need* an Elegant Themes membership. 87 beautiful themes and 5 plugins for the cost of less than a candy-bar each!
